"I didn't do anything wrong, why did you do this to me?" A screenwriter who was once a powerful screenwriter asked a heartbroken question. This screenwriter is He Qingkui, who is known as the "godfather of sketches".
What did he mean by that? And to whom? Let's uncover this long-sealed past.
From obscurity to a regular visitor to the Spring Festival Gala
He Qingkui was born in an ordinary fisherman family in Fuyu County, Jilin Province. Growing up in a poor family, he was introverted and thin, and he was always unable to keep up with everyone's pace in collective labor, and was often criticized.
Who would have thought that this seemingly ordinary fisherman's son would become a well-known screenwriter in the future? The twist of fate occurred after He Qingkui joined a local theater troupe.
Under the careful guidance of the troupe leader, he gradually mastered the acting skills and began to try his hand at screenwriting. This experience laid the foundation for his later success.
One day, He Qingkui met his old acquaintance Gao Xiumin in the vegetable market. Gao Xiumin was already well-known at the time, and she encouraged He Qingkui to continue his work and promised to help him. It was this chance encounter that completely changed the trajectory of He Qingkui's life.
With the help of Gao Xiumin, He Qingkui's works began to attract attention. His sketches such as "Willows and Flowers" are deeply loved by the audience and have won him the reputation of "The Godfather of Sketches".
He Qingkui and Gao Xiumin jointly created the sketch "Burden" in the Spring Festival Gala. This sketch not only made Gao Xiumin famous, but also made He Qingkui a hot screenwriter.
Since then, He Qingkui, Gao Xiumin and Zhao Benshan have formed the "Iron Triangle" of the Spring Festival Gala, and their works have appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala almost every year.
The glory days of the "Iron Triangle".
In the following years, He Qingkui created nearly 100 sketches for Zhao Benshan and others, including classics such as "Selling Abduction" and "Selling Cars". These works not only made the audience laugh, but also made the "Iron Triangle" more and more famous.
He Qingkui recalled: "At that time, the three of us were like a family, and there was a steady stream of creative inspiration, and every time we discussed the script, we could collide with new sparks."
He Qingkui, Zhao Benshan and Gao Xiumin's TV series "Holy Water Lakeside" was broadcast and achieved amazing ratings. This work is considered the pinnacle of the trio's collaboration, showing the tacit understanding they have developed over the years.
An insider commented: "The three of them are like a precision machine, and each one plays his part just right. He Qingkui's talent, Zhao Benshan's performance and Gao Xiumin's aura are perfectly combined. "
Cracks are emerging
But the good times didn't last long. A bad news shocked the entire entertainment industry: Gao Xiumin died of a heart attack. This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for He Qingkui.
"Gao Xiumin is not only my partner, but also my bosom friend. With her departure, I have lost the person who discovered me in the first place, and I have also lost a friend who really understands me. He Qingkui choked up in an interview.
Gao Xiumin's death made the "Iron Triangle" lose an important corner. Although Zhao Benshan and He Qingkui tried to continue to cooperate, they no longer seemed to be able to find the original tacit understanding.
Before the Spring Festival Gala, because Gao Xiumin's sudden disappearance made the show unable to rehearse, He Qingkui and Zhao Benshan had a fierce dispute. This quarrel became an important turning point in the relationship between the two.
The rise of the newcomer
During this period, actor Fan Wei began to emerge. He joined Zhao Benshan's team and soon became the new pillar. Fan Wei's performance style is very compatible with Zhao Benshan, and the works they have collaborated on have been frequently praised.
He Qingkui's son He Shucheng revealed in the live broadcast: "At that time, Fan Wei was not popular, and he often wooed my father. He always said, 'Teacher He, you are so good, we still need to learn from you.'" "
At the same time, another actor, Yan Xuejing, has gradually become an important member of the team. She has a close relationship with Gao Xiumin and is known as Gao Xiumin's "successor".
An insider recalled: "Yan Xuejing is very smart, she knows how to please everyone. For He Qingkui, she always has a 'Teacher He'; For Zhao Benshan, she is even more obedient. "
The storm has changed dramatically
He Qingkui encountered the darkest moment of his life. His eldest son died unexpectedly, and shortly afterwards, his long-time friend and lover Gao Xiumin also passed away. This successive blows plunged He Qingkui into deep sadness.
In this difficult time, He Qingkui hopes to receive the support and comfort of his friends. But the reality disappointed him.
He Shucheng broke the news in the live broadcast: "After Fan Wei became an actor, he never contacted my father again." I used to call a lot, but then I didn't even say hello. "
What made He Qingkui even more chilling was that at Wang Hongmei's son's wedding, Yan Xuejing's attitude towards their father and son was very cold. He Shucheng said: "When Yan Xuejing saw us, it was like seeing a stranger, and he didn't even say hello."
Public complaints
He Qingkui finally couldn't hold back his inner dissatisfaction, and posted a post on social media, lashing out at the two "white-eyed wolves". Although he did not name him directly, insiders knew who he was referring to.
He Qingkui wrote: "I have made you popular, but now you treat me as nothing. Can success erase the kindness of the past?"
He Qingkui's remarks caused heated discussions on the Internet. Some people sympathize with his plight and think that Fan Wei and Yan Xuejing are indeed ungrateful; Some people also think that He Qingkui is too sensitive and thinks that changes in interpersonal relationships are a normal thing.
From the perspective of a bystander, what is reflected behind this turmoil is the complex interpersonal relationships and entanglements of interests in the entertainment industry. The "Iron Triangle" of the past no longer exists, and is replaced by a new chain of partnerships and interests.
A senior entertainment reporter analyzed: "Zhao Benshan needs fresh blood to maintain his position, and Fan Wei and Yan Xuejing need Zhao Benshan's resources to take the position." In this process, He Qingkui is a little redundant. "
On the other hand, this story also reflects the generational change in the entertainment industry. The traditional sketches that He Qingkui is good at are no longer mainstream in the new media era. A new generation of creators and actors is engaging audiences in new ways.
Back to He Qingkui's sentence at the beginning: "I didn't do anything wrong, why did you do this to me?" Perhaps, there will never be a standard answer to this question.
In this ever-changing entertainment industry, friendship and interests are always difficult to balance. He Qingkui's experience allows us to see the hardships of the road to fame and the complexity of human nature in Vanity Fair.
In any case, He Qingkui's status as the "godfather of sketches" is undeniable. He has made great contributions to the cause of comedy in China. As for the grievances between him and Fan Wei and Yan Xuejing, perhaps only the parties concerned can explain it clearly.
As melon eaters, we may not be able to make a decision lightly. After all, in this Vanity Fair, everyone has their own helplessness and persistence. There will be public opinion on right and wrong. What we can do is to maintain an objective attitude, cherish those sincere emotions, and understand the complexity of human nature.
